I wasn't there but I think this is getting ridiculous. Even that lagger Bill Simmons was piling on the DC fanbase this week. There is no team in the league that doesn't consistently have visiting fans in their stadium. Moreover, in situations in which the home crowd is appropriately quiet (eg fourth and short) or just demoralized (after a loss) you will be able to hear this minority of fans. Cos, ya know, the stadium is quiet. This happens at Cowboys games and Patriots games and lots of places. While our homefield is not as intimidating as Pittsburgh or Kansas City, let's not turn us into Arizona or Oakland.
The Pittsburgh game was an anomaly, it doesn't mean we never have home field advantage anymore.
And you weren't even at the game? That makes this the dumbest thread in a long time.

There's a lot on CL. You wouldn't notice the other fans if the skins would take care of business.

Just to bring some simple point up...When our offense is on the field most people get quiet. Which means if there were 5 people chanting go Dallas they would probably be heard. Now multiply that by thousands for the Skins and a measly 5- 10 thousand Dallas fans. Our stadium holds what 90,000. 10,000 Dallas fans are nothing. and it also boils down to the Skins ticket holders selling out to whoever will pay. I could have gotten tickets for $150 a piece. To much for me but some idget Dallas fan might have paid that.
I was watching the anouncers in the parking lot interviewing people and they spoke with a woman from Pennsylvania who said she makes all the games cause they have season tickets. My first thought was ...what in the hell? but then thought it's not that far probably. but this is the problem when you move the team to MD and move it away from the very community it's named after. I know we have fans all over the U.S. but it sorta pissed me off cause at some point that fan may decide hey ...I don't feel like driving down there today cause I'm feeling sick or I don't care about the match up so let me give the ticket to whoever wants it or will pay me for it. which happens to be the opposing teams fan next time.

Yeah, I was at the game, and it was a good showing for the Skins' fans, in my opinion compared to the Steelers game. You're going to get opposing fans regardless, but it was a pretty good home crowd, IMO...just didnt have too much to get excited about.
Yes agree 100%. The REDSKIN NATION was alive and well for this one! This was by no means a rehash of the burg mess.
It just didn't transfer to the field after the 1st half or 1st quarter for the matter.

I wish I knew of these people paying 5 times the ticket price when I had my season tickets. I had trouble just getting face value.
good seats + ebay and sometimes craigslist posting in the opposing team's city
it's not gonna happen against the dolphins, but the cowboys it will.. i've seen very high up 400s go for a few hundred

that chant wasn't even that damn loud! There weren't anymore Cowboy fans there then in previous games!
You guys are blowing this out of proportion!
But, if you did want to know where the Cowboy fans got tickets..........they called the Redskins Ticket office. Maybe you all should try that for the Giants game. I mean, if you want less Giants fans there you should really think about trying it. I know I'm going to be doing that. But, I must warn you! It could be as much as $500 for two tickets!

I was at the game and of course there were the usual dozen or so cowboys fans in my section, but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as the Pittsburgh game.

i wont even comment on the officiating.
either way .... disgraceful.
AGAIN. all game.
You know the refs really got to me this game, But I did'nt wanna use it as an excuse. However I wake up this morning to pacman being reinstated I mean c'mon how many chances can this piece of shit get, If you couple this with the refs on sunday nite you come back to the leagues love afffair with the cowboys, They are so popular so it's better for the league to have them playing well I'm calling shenanigans or however you spell it.
